Review: If You Don't Like This, I Will Die: An Influencer Memoir

If You Don't Like This, I Will Die: An Influencer Memoir by Lee Tilghman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Author was one of the first "influencers" on social media. An "influencer" is a common dream that many aspire to. I thought this showed that it's not easy and you have to be "on" pretty much all the time. There is pressure to look a certain way, be perfect. If not, the criticism is harsh.
This did lose me because I expected more reflection/thoughts on the harms of wellness influencing (and influencing general as well). She contributed to the misinformation and I don't think there was much of an acknowledgement of that.

Review: Hot for Slayer

Hot for Slayer by Ali Hazelwood
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Aethelthryth or Ethel (as she is now known) is a vampire and throughout the years has had run-ins with Lazlo, a vampire hunter. However, he may not be the enemy she thought he was. It isn't until he gets amnesia, that she gets to know him. It turns out, he liked her and how she treats others. It also helps that she doesn't indiscriminately kill and just goes after the evil of society for her meals.
Nice, quick, lighted-hearted read.
